Late model street bikes don't need catch cans because they are fuel injected - no carbs, the crankcase vent goes into the airbox and the radiator has...

Nobody has ever actually looked at my bike.

And last time there, I did 10 laps with my Z125 headlights turned on my bike and the guys looking...

In. Hoping we avoid the R word.

I can never make it weekdays, wish they had more weekend days.

There's the Wisconsin Dual Sport Riders Group, but they require an AMA membership. I think I looked into them back in 2009 when I had a KLR650. They...

So I'm scrolling down the classes. Then at the bottom I see "The GROM / Z125 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP" and suddenly I perk up a bit. Don't make...

So... there's no winnings. There's no list of "Industry Insiders" that you will be performing in front of. There's no example of what said...

Saw a new old stock Africa Twin for $9500 somewhere on Craigslist, '17 I think. They couldn't have improved them that much.

So... I took...

Maybe you guys can figure out this mystery. Just north of the small town of Hilbert, which is north of Road America, tell me what you see at this lin...

So it looks like August 17th and 18th are now dedicated motorcycle track days. I might be in for one of those, weather permitting, though I'm not sure....

Sunday August 25th. 12:00-5:00 open to bikes and karts alternating. I'll be there if the weather is good. Not a whole lot of weekend days in the Road...

Found the thread on ADV talking about it. Long thread, haven't found the key elements yet, like how many miles before he has to rebuild the top end? How...

A couple years back Motovid had that thing going on at the Milwaukee Mile infield track in cooperation with Southeast Sales. That kinda faded away though....

[Zaph]

Those bikes were on my list too, especially the 500 EXC. But it wasn't just that they can't rack up enough miles without maintenance issues, it was the...

I tried foot out on supermotos and it just did not work for me. Being a roadracer guy, knee down was natural. Also don't assume foot out guys are slow...

I was always a fan of the Sachs I think because it was the original. It was around 10 years before the Grom was a thing and I've wanted one. Brakes suck,...

Ruben Xaus approves!

Hey maybe the kickstand recall hasn't been done. I'd say that's good for another $800 off or so. (some people say it had to be in the shop for up to...

But I stayed in the lines and used the prettiest colors!

Fun update.

I learned from Ryan (#411) that there were supermoto races...
